Wake Up America, We Are Being Distracted From the Real Issues by MSM Lackeys
It’s time to wake up, America.
The mainstream media is attempting once again to draw the public’s opinion towards issues that are ultimately fringe issues that impact a small percentage of us in order to ignore the large-scale major issues that affect all of us.
When I saw mainstream media, I am referring to any major media outlet, including satirical quasi-political shows such as the Daily Show. All of these shows, op-eds, media appearances are in fact one colossal game meant to draw our attention away from what matters to items that don’t really matter all that much.
Now, before you get angry at me, let’s try and work our way rationally through how things actually work in the US.
For starters, ask yourself the following:
- Which affects you more, the fact a particular candidate voted for a particular bill in the past, or the fact that our entire monetary system is run by a man who none of us voted for and who has systemically worked to debase the value of the currency in our pockets while raising the cost of living?
- What matters more to the US, whether or not homosexuals can get married or the fact that all of us are married to a financial system in which all of us shoulder the debts of Wall Street and the banks, thereby insuring that our country will eventually face a debt crisis resulting is most if not all of us losing a major percentage of our wealth?
- Which is more important for our well-being, whether or a certain candidate paid his taxes or the fact that we are all of us being taxed by inflation which decreases our purchasing power, making all of us much poorer?
My point with all of this is that politics in this country is in fact a grand distraction to draw our attention away from those who actually call the shots in the US (the Fed and banking elites) by hitting our “emotional” buttons and getting us worked up about peripheral issues so we don’t wake up and realize that we’re being robbed every single day of our lives by individuals who we never even voted for.

The reason the media shies away from these topics is because the talking heads have all gotten rich by doing so. John Stewart, hilarious champion of the left made $15 million last year. His net worth is close to $80 million. His arch nemesis, Bill O’Reilly, made $20 million and is worth somewhere in the ballpark of $50 million.
Wake up people, these folks don’t represent you. You won’t make as much money as they make in one year in your entire lifetime. You have absolutely nothing in common with them.
Why? Because they’re muppets who appeal to our vanity by espousing opinions similar to our own. The end result is that we watch them and feel they’re on “our side,” when in reality they’re just lackeys who have gotten rich by distracting the masses from the real power structure: the Fed and the Primary Dealer banking system.
"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested from it's profits or so dependent on it's favors, that there will be no opposition from that class."
~Rothschild Brothers of London, 1863
Think about this one for a moment… the US debt is now $16 trillion. The largest owner of this debt is the US Federal Reserve. So when we pay taxes to pay the interest on the debt, it goes to guess who?
Haven’t heard that one discussed anywhere in the media have you?
How about this? Ben Bernanke pumped god knows how much money into the financial system during the 2008 Crisis. The chief of oversight at the Fed admitted that even the Fed doesn’t know where hundreds of billions of Dollars went. And they’re not going to investigate where it went either.
Did you get some of that money? Nope. The banks did though. But you won’t hear that during the Presidential debates or any of the various spin-based political talk shows.
However, there is hope. Both the newspaper and the mainstream news media have seen their readership/ viewership tank as more and more people realize that these folks don’t actually report anything; they just distract us from the real “game” being played. One can only hope that people actually put their knowledge to work and begin demanding real change, not as a political punchline, but as a systemic overhaul of a system none of us actually voted for in the first place.
This is after all supposed to be a Democracy, isn’t it?

Representative Republic actually.
You made your point, though.

Either everyone on ZH already knows this, or they're a halfwit troll. Please tell us something new, or stop clogging up ZH with this useless shite.
Well, I didn't know that smug funnyman Jon Stewart (Graham spelled his first name wrong) has a net worth of 80 million Bernanke Bux.
That was 'new' to me and perhaps to most ZH readers ... Jon Stewart is funny sometimes, but he is getting quite the big-corporate paycheque ... from the same corporate people who fund and back the politician-gangsters.

And actually, I find it cheering how Mr Graham Summers has finally come over to the 'dark side' ... not just saying how things are a mess in the economy but he is tying in now to the real radicalism.
If he's not so original yet, Graham is still somewhat new to speaking boldly as a financial-radical persona ...
There is a lot of repetition on ZH, agreed ... that is what makes the writers on ZH like Bruce Krasting stand out, Bruce tends to have new facts or a new set of anecdotes, not just summarising what's out there ... maybe Graham will soon find more fresh stories and anecdotes to share, too ...
Bruce Krasting thinks we should pay taxes. 'nough said.

You are missing the important part: How much do you think he has converted into hard assets?
An hilarious douche without his money will still be a douche...but now I can hire him...
Be my bitch Jon Stewart...Come! Make me laugh you whore!
Yow want answers !.... Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
"Do you have a tooth pick cause this brisket you served sucked"
That's how I would've rolled.
True, it's not new news for veteran ZH'ers. But it doesn't hurt to be reminded now and then either. Plus new ZH'ers may learn something. And spreading the word is the purpose of ZH....
not gonna happen. as long as they have their tin toys in front of their faces all day you could get a nuke to go off and you cant wake these morons up to reality.
I like how Rush refers to them as The Lame Stream Media, or also Drive-By media. I do not have a television, aka Idiot Box or Boob Tube. So good luck to them sidetracking me.
Preachin to the choir, MAN!
I gave ya a oner. ;-)
.
Yeah, I think that was from either A Farewell to Kings or Caress of Steel. Their older albums were definitely ahead of their time.
"I like how Rush refers to them as The Lame Stream Media, or also Drive-By media."
Yeah, Rush is one of them...Keep trying kiddo.
See my post directly above this one.
Btw: I am 51, far cry from kiddo.
Beatrix Kiddo is cool though, knowhatImeanvern? ;-)
Yes, and thank god we have Rush to set the record straight on these issues. I really like the last things he had to say about the Federal Reserve and Uncle Ben. I'm so glad that Rush steers the conversations to the most relevant of matters. His ability to remain fair and balanced is perhaps his most endearing quality as a powerful commentator. Politics is a powerful magnet but Rush manages to stay above the fray. Bless the man and his mission.
Just so ya knows, I do not listen to him anymore. Rarely ever turn the radio on in my truck, as I prefer listening to the music of a cog-belt driven supercharged motor over any other noise there is. Also just do not have the time to sit and listen to all of the commercials his show airs during that "3 hours of broadcasting excellence". There are so many damn ads, I do not think he talks for an hour during that 3 hour spiel.
I used to listen to him regularly, but that's been several years ago. I just remember how he always demonizes the media. Cannot fault him for that anywho. ;-)
Where as I prefer the sound of my blow off valve off a turbo ;-)
Sounds good by me. Ole Rush can be a rush -- at first. He gets old fast. I marvel that folks can listen to him year after year.
Better watch it, Rocky --- somebody could interpret your comments here as sarcastic.
Sarcastic? Moi? Ya figger? So far I've garnered 14 up arrows. Seems to have attracted either a gaggle of Rush admirers, or not. Could there be 14 very sophisticated readers? Ah! Perhaps a sprinkling of both.
I think they are trying to commoditize Matrix glitches...
The Matrix, exactly what I call it. It is your perception at every turn planned. Either tin foil hats, or terrorist's believe anything outside it's existence.
Good to see you finally on the right track Graham. You are at square one.
After a few oxycodones, I can set anyone straight! Damned straight!
